Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."SSRS and the Tabular server/Vertipaq engine/DAX are probably the two most valuable components."
"It is a pretty straightforward and flexible solution for data integration and modeling. It is a low-code solution. When you are doing data integration, you can use the GUI, which is very simple and straightforward. You can also do very intricate custom queries and model it at different levels. It is very easy to use and scalable."
"Its data visualization provides the user the ability to quickly look at data and focus on relevant information, allowing them to make an immediate decision."
"It's quite flexible, and it's easy to create reports using this system. It is very graphic and very user friendly."
"It's the analytic engine in terms of the interface on the Power BI environment, as opposed to pivot tables, and it's a mobile solution."
"What I like about Power BI is how fast you are able to create dashboards and how fast you are able to fetch the data. You can connect to the database or data source, and then you can design your dashboards very easily."
"The most valuable feature of Power BI is its ability to provide customized visualizations and insights tailored to specific business needs."
"It is in the cloud, which makes it easy for mobile access of reports and data."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"It is a stable product."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"The DAX features need some improvement. It's not as easy as Excel. They need more DAX formulas."
"My data is restricted to my DB and I'm not sure how this would handle an extremely large dataset."
"The solution could improve the extraction and transformation of data. For example, you transform the data and then send it to Microsoft BI without having to use your own API. We are only providing the API to Power BI, and then Power BI is doing the job."
"The reporting could be a bit better."
"here are some limitations with the data models needed to build the report."
"Power BI's drillthrough feature could be improved. I didn't like drillthrough and those options much, but I did like it in MicroStrategy."
"This solution is resource-heavy."
"Real-time refreshing for SAP BW would be nice. We know its on the radar for the development team at MS. "
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"They could improve the update time."
"For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool, which combines the functions that we have from one side and the other side."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
